May/June New Product Blog Hop

It's time to highlight all of the amazing goodies in the May/June Close To My Heart Idea Book with an extra special blog hop!  {If you're already hopping, then you've probably arrived from Krista's blog.  From here, you'll visit Gina's blog next.}
My projects, our stay in Caen, France, featured the Stitched Together paper collection plus the adorable wooden buttons
Since I didn't have stamps to go with this collection, I ended up fussy cutting pieces from the gorgeous floral print, kind of like applique.  (I love how it turned out!)

I also used some of the corresponding PML cards.

Here is the left page with the memory protector plus on the right...
...and the right page with the backside of the memory protector plus on the left.

 I added in stitching on the buttons and doodle some stitches on my journaling with my black journaling pen.


For the pretty border on the left, I used my paper trimmer to cut the strip to the butterfly and then opened the track, moved my blade past the butterfly, and continued cutting.  Then, I went back and fussy cut around the butterfly's body.
The right page uses one of the PML cards with a flip flap to add "hidden" journaling.

Thanks for letting me share a twist on the Stitched Together collection with you.  I'd love a comment before you hop on over to Gina's Little Corner of Stamping Heaven!  Thank you!
